The branding some MMA promotions used to make themselves more profitable by highlighting how out of control, or rule-less, or barbaric they were have come back to bite them on the ass as they are now realizing that they turned off a lot of potential viewers by that. It's a (mostly) legitimate and regulated sport now.
But people will see what they choose to see, much like everything else.
